**Company Generates More Than 100 Prospective Dealer Leads and Estimates Initial
Pre-Order Demand Exceeding 100 Units Ahead of Official SEMA Launch**

GARLAND, Texas, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) ("Massimo"
or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of powersports vehicles, UTVs,
ATVs and innovative mobility solutions, today announced strong dealer response to
the soft launch of its new 2027 Warrior 1500XD and Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew UTVs 
at Equip Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky, held October 20 to 23, 2026.

Massimo’s New 2027 Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew and Warrior 1500XD Crew UTV’s

Equip Exposition is one of the largest equipment trade shows in the United States,
bringing together more than 30,000 industry professionals across the outdoor power
equipment, landscaping, dealer and distribution markets.

At Equip Exposition, Massimo’s booth experienced heavy traffic throughout the event,
with both the Warrior 1500XD and Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew generating significant 
interest from existing and prospective dealers. The Company generated more than 
100 prospective dealer leads during the show and currently estimates initial pre-
order demand exceeding 100 units across the two models ahead of their official launch
at the SEMA Show.

"The response at Equip was exactly what we wanted to see," said Quenton Petersen,
Chief Executive Officer of Massimo Group. "We generated more than 100 prospective
dealer leads and are already seeing estimated initial demand exceeding 100 units
across the Warrior and Sentinel platforms. That early dealer response gives us additional
confidence in both the products and the broader opportunity for the 1500 Series 
as we prepare for the official launch at the Specialty Equipment Market Association(
SEMA) show in November."

Massimo also introduced prospective dealers to its commercial strategy for the 1500
Series, including competitive retail pricing, dealer volume rebates and incentives,
extended flooring opportunities, aggressive consumer financing programs and additional
support designed to help dealers profitably sell and scale the new product line.

**New 1,499cc Inline-Four Platform Targets Higher-Capability UTV Market**

At the heart of both vehicles is Massimo’s new 1,499cc inline four-cylinder engine
platform, designed to deliver strong, smooth power across demanding recreational,
commercial, agricultural and fleet applications.

The Warrior 1500XD is a full-size crew UTV engineered around rugged utility and 
demanding off-road capability. Key features include:

 ◦ 1,499cc inline four-cylinder engine
 ◦ Rugged all-metal body construction
 ◦ Aggressive 29-inch all-terrain tires
 ◦ 10-inch touchscreen display
 ◦ Full-size crew configuration
 ◦ Integrated onboard cooler
 ◦ Heavy-duty utility-focused design

The Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew extends the same high-displacement platform into a premium
enclosed, all-season configuration featuring a factory cab with integrated heating
and air conditioning, heated and cooled seating, an integrated onboard cooler, and
a four-door crew layout designed for year-round commercial, agricultural, fleet,
property management and recreational use.

Massimo believes the combination of its 1,499cc inline-four powertrain, utility-
focused architecture, premium comfort features and aggressive value positioning 
creates a differentiated offering within the higher-capability UTV market.

"We believe there is a meaningful opportunity between traditional value UTVs and
the extremely high-priced machines at the top end of the market," Petersen continued."
Our objective with the 1500 Series is to deliver serious power, capability and comfort
while maintaining the value positioning that has always been an important part of
the Massimo brand."

The Warrior 1500XD and Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew are expected to anchor a broader 
family of 1500 Series vehicles for the 2027 model year. Massimo is also developing
additional configurations, including a Warrior 1500 HVAC model, a value-oriented
non-HVAC base model and two-door variants, allowing the Company to address multiple
price points, applications and customer segments from a common vehicle architecture.

**MVR Cargo Max HVAC Highlights Fleet and Commercial Opportunity**

In addition, at the Equip Exposition, Massimo showcased its **MVR Cargo Max HVAC**,
an all-electric utility vehicle designed for commercial and fleet applications.

The climate-controlled electric vehicle is designed for applications such as warehouses,
industrial facilities, campuses, property management, municipalities and other commercial
environments requiring quiet, efficient utility transportation.

The Company believes the combination of its new 1500 Series and MVR commercial vehicles
can support continued expansion across dealer, fleet, commercial and government 
sales channels.

**Massimo Takes 1500 Series Momentum to SEMA**

Following the successful Equip debut, Massimo will bring the Warrior 1500XD and 
Sentinel 1500 HVAC Crew to the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 3-6, 2026, 
where the Company plans to conduct the official launch of the new 1500 Series.

Held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, SEMA is one of the world’s largest automotive
and specialty-equipment industry gatherings, bringing together more than 150,000
industry participants, including tens of thousands of buyers and decision-makers,
along with thousands of media representatives and content creators.

The event provides Massimo with a significant national and international platform
to increase brand exposure, develop new dealer and strategic relationships, generate
media attention and formally introduce its next generation of UTV products to the
broader market.

"Equip provided meaningful validation from the dealer market and strengthened our
confidence in the direction we are taking," Petersen said. "SEMA gives us an even
larger platform to officially launch these vehicles, increase national awareness
of the Massimo brand and continue building the dealer and commercial relationships
that can support our next phase of growth."

Massimo’s expansion into the 1500cc UTV category is part of a broader strategy to
increase its presence in higher-value vehicle segments while expanding dealer distribution,
fleet and government sales, retail financing capabilities and national brand awareness.

The Company expects to provide additional product, pricing and availability information
surrounding the SEMA launch.
